Sewer Map-Tiles - The Druid's Trees

What can be more exciting than getting under the city and crawling around in its waste?

It’s full of joy and adventure, isn’t it?

And sometimes, it’s necessary. The druid’s trees are dying. He says the roots are reaching down in the deep, right to the old sewer system that runs under the city. Something is happening down there and it would be great if you could prevent the destruction of the rare and precious trees before it’s too late.

The size of this map is 36 by 24 inches but you’ll get something new if you buy this set. This is no mere map; it’s structured from 6x6 inch tiles which has a lot of value!

Listen up:

"Fog of war" on your tabletop! Without any accessories, blanket, paper sheets or anything you've used before to hide undiscovered areas.

You only have to place the tiles that are visible for your players. This way you can reveal the dark secrets of the map during the adventure, just like a “fog of war” system. I’ve designed this map to help you easily manage your adventure, the main rooms and areas fit the borders of the tiles.

Example:

Most of the tiles are seamless at their border.I will mark these tiles for you in both the printable PDF file and in the JPG files in case you want to use them online. This means if you want to expand this map or you would like to use different layouts, you only need to print out more map pieces and tiles, to build up another sewer system. Make the map fit to your story easily; you don’t have to play on a fixed layout, which is the disadvantage of most maps. There are special and unique areas that you can lay down only to next to each other but every other tile can be mixed with each other.

What else will you get?

Cut-out bridges, boxes, barrels etc. that you can place on your map.

Extra realistic and scenic 3D based graphics which makes your adventure more thrilling. If you are the type who likes the wonderful and breathtaking visual worlds of movies and games, then you can relive them on your gaming nights sitting around a table in your home (or online) with your friends.

Area descriptions and a storyline idea to help fire up your imagination and help you create your own adventure.

What you won’t get?This set will not do the hard work for you. As a Game Master you have a lot of work, outlining the world and the adventure, populating areas, making NPCs more believable and taking control over the story and team. This is what this product will not do, because it is not a pre-written adventure you can follow step by step. But I’m sure the diverse areas, detailed graphics, area descriptions and those few adventure hooks you could use will provide a lot of help in the harder parts of this wonderful job. It’s also possible to bend this map to your own original concept.

Features of thedigital version:

This set is including now altogether 64 map-tiles (32 map pieces and 32 mixable sewer-system tiles) with vortexes, bridges, doors, corpses, empty areas, bandits and more!

The set is also including PDF files converted with custom CMYK profile that is better for most printers and use about 30% less black ink. Please print out a test tile from both versions before you print the whole PDF to check the result.

Re-usable and modular. Buy it once and use them for any adventure! The tiles are available with two sides. One side is the original and the other side is an alternative version, so you don’t have to change your story to fit the tile’s content. (These alternative versions are included in the digital version too, you can show/hide them with layers before you print out the tiles.)

Double-sided UV-coatedYou can draw on them with felt-tip pens because this surface makes it possible to erase

Use tape to connect tiles easily on their other side:(it will not remove the paint thanks to the special surface that makes it even water-proof)

I provide a Satisfaction Guarantee for all of my products, that is how much I believe in my work. If you or your players are not satisfied with what you see and you don’t hear a single WOW! around the table when you draw your newest charge, then I will refund the price of my product, without any questions.

Visit my site for details and feel free to contact me if you have any question.

Why establish this guarantee? Here are testimonials I’ve received from my customers:

Hi, my name is Antal Kéninger, a graphic artist from Central Europe. I’m the guy behind Black Scrolls Games and I’ve been in the tabletop game business for seven years, working with other publishers and playing with friends on the weekend (when we all have time for it).

As you can see, I don’t really like the full top-down view. In most of my maps you can see the side of the walls, too. It makes the area look more alive, lets me add more details and make a “3D game” feeling for the players around the table.

I use professional software programs to sculpt the models, set the scene and render the final image. Every model that you can see in the maps/tiles is modeled and textured by me. If you are interested in the process, read more on my site.

I hope you will also enjoy my maps and tiles, at least as much as I enjoyed working on them!

If these are as good as The Keeper of Realms set (and I am sure of that), then they are a musthave for every DM. Great quality in material/design.
I orderd the Sewer set today, so I will leave a new review when I get them.

Agree with Robert, they look really good. Are you planning to do more of such modular tiles? What's the release pipeline like?

PUBLISHER

Hi Jim, sorry for the late reply. Thank you very much!
I will release a modular Desert - Canyon tile set this week, on 6x6 cards, too. And there will be a "Forest of Fallen Giants" after it but it will be a map, rather than tiles. I will put out a list of releases with estimated release dates on my website, thanks for the idea! You can share your suggestions on Black Scrolls Games forum if you think; you will find it on my site.

Excellent set of map-tiles that are beautifully rendered and very evocative! Although not entirely modular, there are several combinations of tiles that should provide for multiple maps that can be built with this set. [...]

Very High quality product.
Wxcellent features and reusability. I have purchased quite a few paper craft and map tile products over the years. These sewer tiles are amazing.
The electronic comes in two flavours. PDF for printing out [...]

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
